Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Evgeni Golov 2015-10-09 08:28:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
While creating a Partition Table in Sat 6.1 we stumbled over the limit of 4096 characters for each individual entry. While this is plenty for a basic ptable, we want to use a script for generating the ptable (as described in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/User_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Configuring_the_Provisioning_Environment-Configuring_Provisioning_Settings.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Configuring_Provisioning_Settings-Partition_Tables).

The limit seems to be set in the Foreman database migration that is creating the ptables table in PostgreSQL (/usr/share/foreman/migrate/20090730152224_create_ptables.rb).

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a ptable longer than 4096 chars

Actual results:
not possible

Expected results:
ptable created

Comment 2 Bryan Kearney 2015-10-14 13:20:58 UTC 
Upstream bug component is Provisioning
Comment 4 Lukas Zapletal 2015-10-15 11:51:52 UTC 
This was fixed upstream in a different ticket already, we will eventually rebase in 6.2.

Triage notes: This is NOT backportable feature since upstream changed database backend completely for ptables.
Comment 5 Karl Abbott 2015-11-24 16:25:14 UTC 
Lukas,

If we closed this bz, how are we ensuring that this gets fixed in 6.2 and properly QA'd etc.? 

Cheers,
Karl
Comment 6 Lukas Zapletal 2015-11-27 13:13:29 UTC 
Yeah, I haven't noticed this was acked. It was merged already for upstream, but QA should cover it for sure.
